Literature Review: Prediction Modeling of Emergency Department Disposition Decisions for Children with Acute Asthma Exacerbations
2018, Clinical Pediatric Emergency MedicineCharacteristics of Pediatric Emergency Revisits After an Asthma-Related Hospitalization
2017, Annals of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :ED visits for asthma after hospitalization are common and may be related to severity of disease. Children of minority race and those with public insurance, history of asthma-related ED visit or hospitalization, and suboptimal asthma control are more likely to visit (and revisit) the ED.12-19 However, many studies describing risks related to ED utilization and reutilization have minimal patient-level data beyond these basic factors, elements that may aid in the discovery of modifiable ways to reduce asthma morbidity.20-23
Development and Internal Validation of a Pediatric Acute Asthma Prediction Rule for Hospitalization
2015, Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In PracticePotential predictors of relapse after treatment of asthma exacerbations in children
2014, Annals of Allergy, Asthma and ImmunologyCitation Excerpt :Emerman et al12 gave systemic steroids to more than 75% of the patients in their study, and in their 2-week follow-up, they found the rate of revisits to be 10%. In the study by Ducharme et al,13 a few patients were given systemic steroids when sent home. They reported that the rate of revisit was 31% at the end of a 2-week follow-up.
Risk Factors for Repeat Adverse Asthma Events in Children After Visiting an Emergency Department
2008, Ambulatory PediatricsCitation Excerpt :It is generally accepted that asthma is an ambulatory care–sensitive condition, and appropriate outpatient management results in decreased urgent health care use.22 However, previous studies3–10 conducted under both private and public health care systems showed that outcomes of children attending an ED for asthma were far from ideal. For example, Spurrier and colleagues9 followed children with asthma for 6 months after attending an ED and found that 37% had at least 1 unplanned subsequent visit to the ED.
